Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz and former KsE vocalist Jesse Leach are reuniting for a brand new band, Times Of Grace. Their stunning debut album ‘The Hymn of A Broken Man’ is set for release via Roadrunner Records on November 8. (delayed til Jan 18, 2011) The multi-talented Dutkiewicz plays all the instruments on the record and contributes backing (and occasional lead) vocals as well as handling all production duties.

Prepared Like A Bride is a Gold Coast based post-hardcore band. The 5-piece outfit appeared on the local scene in August 2009 but their experiences as band members dates back much further. With a strong Christian message behind their music, Prepared Like A Bride’s soul purpose is to see people’s lives changed through the friendships they make and the music they produce. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/preparedlikeabride" rel="nofollow">http://www.myspace.com/preparedlikeabride</a>

Musical trends come and go quicker than most bands themselves, and endurance is rewarded to those acts who in the end find ways to take the aspects of their writing to new and inventive levels. New York's Merauder were on the forefront of the metalcore wave in the early '90s, and few bands have had the pleasure of receiving the worldwide attention and embellishing the genre's conviction as they have.
